Intermittent exotropia with accommodative esotropia (XT-ET) is a rare strabismus. This study highlights its early onset, association with hyperopia, and variable deviation corrected by spectacles.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Strabismology

Context:

  • Intermittent exotropia associated with accommodative esotropia (XT-ET) is a rare condition.
  • Understanding its clinical presentation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Limited data exists on the specific characteristics of this combined strabismus.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the clinical features of eight cases of intermittent exotropia associated with accommodative esotropia.
  • To analyze the age of onset, initial symptoms, refractive errors, and angle of deviation.
  • To discuss the incidence and treatment strategies for this rare strabismus.

Summary:

  • Eight cases of XT-ET were analyzed, noting early onset and initial esotropia progressing to exotropia.

  • Most patients (6/8) presented with moderate to high hyperopia, and normal or low AC/A ratios.
  • The angle of deviation fluctuated, with esotropia correctable by spectacles; visual-vestibular interactions showed no consistent patterns.
  • The incidence was found to be 0.4% (8/2158).

    • Impact:

    • Provides valuable insights into the clinical spectrum of a rare strabismus type.
    • Aids ophthalmologists in recognizing and managing XT-ET, particularly in pediatric patients.
    • Contributes to the understanding of strabismus subtypes and their management, potentially improving patient outcomes.
